Console based Agent Deployment Troubleshooting table

This post is a list of common agent push deployment errors… and some possible remediation options.

 

 

Most common errors while pushing an agent:

 

Error Error Code(s) Remediation Steps

The MOM Server could not execute WMI Query "Select * from Win32_Environment where
NAME='PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE'" on computer server.domain.com

Operation: Agent Install
Install account: domain\account
Error Code: 80004005
Error Description: Unspecified error

80004005

1.  Check the PATH environment variable.  If the PATH statement is very long, due to lots of installed third party software - this can fail.  Reduce the path by converting any long filename destinations to 8.3, and remove any path statements that are not necessary.  Or apply hotfix:  http://support.microsoft.com/?id=969572

2.  The cause could be corrupted Performance Counters on the target Agent.

To rebuild all Performance counters including extensible and third party counters in Windows Server 2003, type the following commands at a command prompt. Press ENTER after each command.
cd \windows\system32
lodctr /R
Note /R is uppercase.
Windows Server 2003 rebuilds all the counters because it reads all the .ini files in the C:\Windows\inf\009 folder for the English operating system.

3.  Manual agent install. 

The MOM Server could not execute WMI Query "Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem" on
computer “servername.domain.com”
Operation: Agent Install
Install account: DOMAIN\account
Error Code: 800706BA
Error Description: The RPC server is unavailable.

The MOM Server could not execute WMI Query "(null)” on
computer “servername.domain.com”
Operation: Agent Install
Install account: DOMAIN\account
Error Code: 800706BA
Error Description: The RPC server is unavailable.

800706BA

1.  Ensure agent push account has local admin rights

2.  Firewall is blocking NetBIOS access.  If Windows 2008 firewall is enabled, ensure “Remote Administration (RPC)” rule is enabled/allowed.  We need port 135 (RPC) and the DCOM port range opened for console push through a firewall. 

3.  Inspect WMI service, health, and rebuild repository if necessary

4.  Firewall is blocking ICMP  (Live OneCare)

5.  DNS incorrect

The MOM Server failed to open service control manager on computer "servername.domain.com". Access is Denied
Operation: Agent Install
Install account: DomainName\User Account
Error Code: 80070005
Error Description: Access is denied.

80070005

80041002

1.  Verify SCOM agent push account is in Local Administrators group on target computer.

2.  On Domain controllers will have to work with AD team to install agent manually if agent push account is not a domain admin.

3.  Disable McAfee antivirus during push

The MOM Server failed to open service control manager on computer "servername.domain.com".
Therefore, the MOM Server cannot complete configuration of agent on the computer.
Operation: Agent Install
Install account: DOMAIN\account
Error Code: 800706BA
Error Description: The RPC server is unavailable.

800706BA 1.  Firewall blocking NetBIOS ports

2.  DNS resolution issue.  Make sure the agent can ping the MS by NetBIOS and FQDN.  Make sure the MS can ping the agent by NetBIOS and FQDN

3.  Firewall blocking ICMP

4.  RPC services stopped.

The MOM Server failed to acquire lock to remote computer servername.domain.com. This means there is already an agent management operation proceeding on this computer, please retry the Push Agent operation after some time.
Operation: Agent Install
Install account: DOMAIN\account
Error Code: 80072971
Error description: Unknown error 0x80072971

80072971

This problem occurs if the LockFileTime.txt file is located in the following folder on the remote computer:
%windir%\422C3AB1-32E0-4411-BF66-A84FEEFCC8E2
When you install or remove a management agent, the Operations Manager 2007 management server copies temporary files to the remote computer. One of these files is named LockFileTime.txt. This lock file is intended to prevent another management server from performing a management agent installation at the same time as the current installation. If the management agent installation is unsuccessful and if the management server loses connectivity with the remote computer, the temporary files may not be removed. Therefore, the LockFileTime.txt may remain in the folder on the remote computer. When the management server next tries to perform an agent installation, the management server detects the lock file. Therefore, the management agent installation is unsuccessful.

I received "The network path was not found. Result code: 80070035" when attempting to modify/create a custom data provider / NT performance counter by browsing a remote computer.  Turns out, you need remote registry service on, at least to add it and see the detatils of the parameter on the remote server.

For the first one, I found running wbemtest that processor_architecture was completely missing from the win32_environment class. By doing this: creat a new REG_SZ value PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE under HKCU\Environment identical with the one under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment.

I found it was created! Then the remote installs worked.

I received 80070643 when trying to push out agents from the console. 80070643 is a generic error. The cause was due to the fact that I had  dollar sign "$" in my password. (Example = Pa$$word)  It's crazy, I know. It was recreated in a test environment, and the dollar sign in the password was definitely the cause. I hope this helps.

Thats odd.... because I have a $ sign in my password - and it works just fine.
